Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to address both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved in substance abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help men and women through a detailed rehab plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their program and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
